crochet and knit hearts today. I used patterns and made up patterns for many different sizes of hearts to put into a bouquet for my sister, display on my entertainment center and give as gifts to family.

Today’s toy is a knitted toucan bird. The pattern is by Loly Fuertes. It is very colorful. Using Big Twist and Red Heart Super Saver yarn to get the colors and size 3 needles, I am very pleased with the result. My BIL requested I make this because I like to make birds.

Today’s toy is a crocheted owl. Design by Craftingintx. Using Bernat blanket, Red Heart super saver, Lion Brand Heartland, and a 4.5 mm hook, this owl was made for the Fall seasonal decor.

Today’s toy is Hoppy the bunny. I woke up very early one day this week and decided to design a bunny that had no stuffing. There are many floppy toys out there and I know someone would appreciate no stuffing. Since I still used a tight gauge, the toy does sit up on its own….
